EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL REVERSE OSMOSIS AND NANOFILTRATION MEMBRANES FOR THE REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS FROM SURFACE WATER IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

This study evaluates the performance of commercial reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes for the removal of metal ions from synthetic water and surface water carried from the north-west of Lake Tanganyika in the city of Uvira, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.Metal ion analyses were performed by the standardized ICP-

Background: Cholesterol is especially abundant in nervous system, where it plays important role in different aspects of hand pulse set cellular structure (e.g.fluidity of cell membranes) and function (e.g.membrane).Several studies showed that there may be a link between depression and low cholesterol because of altered central serotonergic function

Abstract Background A major challenge of evolutionary biology is making underlying concepts accessible to wide audiences.One method for doing so is to utilise multi-media formats that have potential to engage and inform through entertainment.This pilot study outlines and discusses a sonification concert that integrated musical performance with a ra

The purpose of this study is to introduce a method to improve innovation diffusion by using agent-based modeling.In this regard, an operational analysis to create agent-based modeling is investigated.agent-based model of this research is carried out in combination with the bass model.in this model, inputs include advertising effects and word-of-mou

Publications determine Gift Cards to a large extent the possibility to stay in academia ("publish or perish").While some pressure to publish may incentivise high quality research, too much publication pressure is likely to have detrimental effects on both the scientific enterprise and on individual researchers.Our research question was: What is the
